Does plant diversity stabilize ecosystem functioning in mountain ecosystems? Maybe not - we show that spatial variation mediates both. Great work by #LauraPerez, @Javier_Lopatin and @SiempreElJose in @EcographyJourna

Are you a big fan of #Miyawaki forest? If so, this is an important piece to read.
A new study in @JAppliedEcology highlights an urgent need for rigorous experimental designs & transparent reporting to ensure truly evidence-based restoration strategies.

Happy to share our review of Miyawaki forests, in which we show the lack of empirical evidence supporting this increasingly popular approach (open access) : nitter.siddz.com/search?q=Tiny%20Forest… @GEMA_UMayor @DataObsCL @UAI_CL

Are diversity-elevation relationships consistent across forest strata, and how do they shift in response to land-use? Check out the results here (open access): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Its been 3.5 years since I have a permanent position in Chile and 4 international students have visited my lab. One from Germany, one from Australia, and 2 from the UK.
If you have a good idea & get funding from your country, more than welcome to southern Chile.

My interview is out: why a lot of biodiversity change has been positive and why I am a conservation optimist. #naturefutures @idiv @IPBES @UNBiodiversity
New episode out now! 🚨Biodiversity stats are trickier than you think. Prof. @hmlfpereira joins #InsideBiodiversity to reveal why scientists can't treat species data like climate data — and what that means for policy and the planet. 🎧 Listen here → insidebiodiversity.podigee.i… 🌿
